Wheelman (Xbox 360)

The Wheelman is a game based on a film that was never actually made. I know what your thinking - the game is probably bad as all movies turned games have the same poor gameplay. I was equally sceptical of this game but as it turns out the game was actually pretty good - I was impressed. Without going to much into the very confusing story, the basic plotline is: You are a secret agent called Milo sent into Barcelona in order to infiltrate the underground crime circles and bring them down. Of course, to gain there trust you must do a number of jobs for them and it just so happens your a pretty handy driver. Even though it may sound like an interesting story ...  Read the complete review

Wheelman-An average game featuring a hollywood name? The struggling publisher Midway has finally gone down under. With poor, low selling games like Hour of Victory, Blacksite and more, this has come back to bite the once legend of Arcade gaming and now they are currently being bidded for by other companies.

As the game is called wheelman you will be behind the wheel most of the time, the driving physics in the game are very ...  Read the complete review

A game of a film starring Vin Diesel which was never actually made. As it happens the bald, Muscly one is such a massive gamer that he owns a game company and astonishingly, given that games of films are usually awful, this is different. In truth, it's probably just as well the Wheelman film wasn't made if the game is anything to go by, as its dialogue is dreadful and its plot hard to follow. But you can forgive such failings in a game as long as it provides intense action and has some good ideas, and Wheelman delivers on both counts. Plus, it looks superb, and is set in an impressively realistic Barcelona. You play Vin Diesel playing Milo Burik, ...  Read the complete review
